+The mapsymbols.xml file is used to define symbols used in [[ivac2:firdef_map_symbol|symbol elements]].
+^Element|symbol||
+^Attribute^Format^Remarks^
+|name|string|symbol name (must be unique)|
-The symbols.xml file is used to draw symbols used in [[ivac2:firdef_map_nav|nav elements]].
 Each symbol is drawn using the same methods as used in the maps:
-* line
+  * lines
-* linestrip
+  * path
-* lineloop
+  * circle
-* polygon
+  * arc
-* circle
+  * point
-* polycircle
-* arc
+The symbol is drawn using a cartesian system where the location of the [[ivac2:firdef_map_symbol|symbol element]] is the centerpoint (0,0).
-* polyarc
+The name attribute of a symbol is used in the symbol attribute of the [[ivac2:firdef_map_symbol|symbol element]].
-* point
+===== example ======
+<code XML>
+<symbols>
+    <symbol name="vor">
+        <circle radius="3" segments="32" width="1" stroke_color="symbol_vor">
+            <point x="0" y="0"/>
